Faulty Product Detection and Separation System

All product manufacturing units need to have a faulty product detection and
separation system in order to maintain product quality and maintain a good
reputation. So here we demonstrate such a system using a mini conveyer belt
system. We propose to design and fabricate a faulty product detection and
separation mechanism. Each product is different and thus has different
mechanisms to detect faulty products. Here we detect faulty products based on
product size. We use a sensor to detect each product height as products move
over a conveyer belt. A defected product with height lower than minimum limit
will be automatically detected as it moves on a conveyer belt and separated by a
conveyer arm. Here we use rollers and rubber belt to develop a mini conveyer belt
mechanism. This mechanism is operated by a motor. We use an ultrasonic sensor
to detect product height and products with less than minimum height are
detected as faulty products. The system uses a servo motor which has a separator
arm.
